Smith later addressed WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes‘ comments about the Fever’s team composition. Swoopes had praised Lexie Hull, Kelsey Mitchell, and Aliyah Boston but had omitted any mention of Clark. Smith, on the show, acknowledged the talents of Hull, Mitchell, and Boston but emphasized Clark as the key player who makes a difference for the team.

Clark has steadily improved her numbers as the league gets closer to the playoffs. She is currently averaging 18.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.1 assists in the season. In addition to her shooting skills, Clark has earned a reputation as one of the best playmakers in the league with elite passing abilities. The Fever, currently holding the third seed in the Eastern Conference, is aiming for a strong playoff run in the postseason.

Sheryl Swoopes calls Stephen A. Smith ‘coward’ after his Caitlin Clark argument

WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes recently made headlines with her comments about the Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark. Swoopes had snubbed Clark’s name while praising the whole Indiana Fever team. But Swoopes’ comments didn’t sit well with veteran analyst Stephen A. Smith.

Stephen A. Smith criticized Swoopes on his show and even called her ‘insane‘ for snubbing Caitlin Clark. After hearing the comments made by Smith, Swoopes quickly responded to the analyst. On her ‘X’ account, Swoopes made some strong remarks about Smith and even called him a coward. Furthermore, Swoopes stated that she was ready to come on Smith’s show.

Swoopes has left her mark in the WNBA as one of the best players to ever play in the league. However, many fans do not like her comments about Clark due to her great stature in the league. Clark, on the other hand, will be aiming to prove all the doubters wrong and is planning to become the best player in the league in the coming years.
